They saying timing is everything and that is a heavy theme throughout the NBA Draft year after year regarding prospects who face the dilemma of sticking through with being classified as a draft steal or returning back to school in the hopes of being a more highly regarded selection.
Under that purview, sophomore big man Jontay Porter out of the University of Missouri may be the biggest standout as he’s sticking through this time around after declaring and subsequently withdrawing his name during last year’s draft.
Since that decision, though, the 19-year-old’s basketball journey has taken a significant detour as he’s torn his right ACL not once, but twice in the matter of five months, the first coming in October of last year before the start of the season and then again back in March.
